February Blog Hop

This month's Blog Hop challenge was to use something springy. I'm pretty sure most of my recent cards are fairly springy--I'm a transplanted California girl who gets tired of winter easily. But I have to say, I love these colors together. They are happy and soothing all at the same time. Enjoy!

I made this birthday card for my sister, and I love how it turned out. This large stamp is from Concord & 9th, called Hello, Lovely. I colored it with Altenew's new markers, then added touches of a gold Wink of Stella marker. I didn't want the sentiment to compete with the image, so I embossed it in gold on vellum. Beautiful stamp!

This stamp is called Never Regret Being Kind. (Keep hopping, and you'll see more!)

One of the things I love most about this hobby is that it is inherently kind. So what could be better than a stamp that encourages even more kindness? Such a great sentiment!

This stamp is easy to use as the focal point of a card...so easy, in fact, that I made 4 right out of the gate! Each one uses a different technique--this stamp is so versatile.

For my first, I heat embossed the sentiment in white on steel grey cardstock. I then colored over the embossing with my Copics for a multicolored effect…

We are celebrating our hobby of papercrafting by bringing our community together and spending a day doing what we love. Come hop with all of us, leave comments along the way, and you will be entered to win this awesome stamp set:

It's called "Make Something Beautiful", and it is being released today. It's so fun to have a stamp set that is dedicated to our love of all things crafty--scrapbooking, painting, cardmaking, sewing, and any and all combinations of the above. Here are two cards I've made with this set. Those tools begged to be paper-pieced with some sparkly silver paper!

For this one I heat embossed the images in white on navy cardstock, as well as fussy cutting the tools out of the silver paper. Then I used a Copic marker to shade the hearts and sentiment in red for a pop of color.
